Vulcan Scramble

Royal Air Force 'Vulcan Display Flight' Hawker-Siddeley (Avro) Vulcan B.2 XL426, makes a spirited 'Scramble' type departure during the rather damp 1983 RAF Mildenhall 'Air Fete'

 

XL426 was the VDF's mount until the now famous XH558 replaced her

 

The type was officially retired from RAF service but both live on - permanently grounded, XH558/G-VLCN at Robin Hood Airport with XL426 aka G-VJET, at Southend Airport
